Mochi donuts and lots of them, please! I was on the hunt for a place that sold all of the flavors my family generally would eat like cookies & cream, fruity pebbles, black sesame, ube, etc. I leaned on good ole trusty Yelp to guide me to the best place that would meet my expectations and Le Creme was it. There were the flavors I mentioned above and then some. I called ahead to ask for pricing since most of the Yelp photos were outdated from years ago and of course, prices then are nowhere near the same as now. For one dozen mochi donuts, it'll set you back roughly $39 (including taxes). I ended up getting 10 mochi donuts (flavored with cookies & cream, ube, fruity pebbles, strawberry, and churro). The donuts only took 10 minutes to cook fresh to order. Cookies & cream and fruity pebbles were easily my fave of the bunch. The donuts are soft, chewy, and I would say slightly more dense than other places (but not in a bad way). I look forward to coming back here again for my mochi donut needs! read more

La crème is a guilty pleasure of mine. They make sweet pastries and have a variety of drink options. Transparently, I haven't tried their milk tea but i love their mochi funds and smoothie! My friends really like their fried food as well. read more

Ordered six beignets and it took them over 30 minutes to make. The beignets were tasty and they came with condensed milk. They had other options like Nutella. But nothing to write home about. But waiting over 30 minutes for a few beignets is crazy. read more

Ordered ahead online Came to pick up after receiving the "order isready" text and they said it's not ready yet and need to wait another 7 minutes. 10 minutes later we check and they said oh...they gave it to the wrong person and we had to wait another 10-15 minutes. Did I mention the boss lady was unapologetic about it and the food came out cold. read more

WOW the mochinut was so fresh, chewy, and not to sweet. My favorite was the fruity pebble because it had a little crunch that balanced the chewiness of the donut. We also got some crispy popcorn chicken along with our boba tea. Highly recommend the oolong tea with less sweetener!! Everyone was so so kind too and the shop made for a chill hangout spot. Will be coming back again!! **Our barista was also super helpful with recommendations too read more

I've been craving malasadas and when I walked in and saw it, I had to get it! There are so many fresh options to choose from. Whether you just like it dusted with sugar or filled some yummy creamy flavor, they got you. My wife and I thought it tasted pretty good. Like Leonards..maybe not, but it definitely hit the spot with the warm, pillowy, eggy, donut with a delicate, slightly crisp interior. We also got some beignets too to bring us back to New Orleans, but I felt that it was just okay. This place has a yuggge menu of street food, drinks, and so many viral and trendy dessert snack options. Whatever you're in the mood for, they will have it and you can come here and it will conveniently have everything you want. read more

Le Creme is located in the Paloma Plaza where parking can be a nightmare during peak hours, especially on weekends. A small place with a few inside tables to sit at. The service was friendly and helpful. Strawberry Matcha (4/5). I added lychee jelly. Good strawberry puree with a strong matcha flavor. Vanilla Bean Malasada (3/5) - I was hoping this would have been warm but it wasn't. The sugary dough was fluffy and vanilla filling was tasty but skimpy. I'll be back to try other items from their menu. read more

Went to this cafe randomly on a day we were craving some cafe food. The ambiance was cozy and cute. Service was super quick. We went on a weekday late noon. Ordered: - Milk Tea with Boba: 4/5 -- I liked that the owner let us try the sweetness level beforehand since it was our first time there. My 4 yr old kid loved it. - Taro Milk Tea: 3/5 -- It was average in taste. - Garlic Fries: 3/5 -- They ensured they answered all queries related to the oil used and clarified that they use regular vegetable oil for these fries. Tasted good. We will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

I tried Le Crème Cafe and had mixed feelings. Mango Swirl: I chose 75% sweetness, but it was still too sweet for my taste. I prefer a slightly sour flavor, so next time I would choose 50%. The texture felt like a minced mixture between a smoothie and jam. My son picked this item, but honestly, it didn't really stand out. Ice Cream with Egg Puff: This was the highlight. The chocolate ice cream was rich and tempting--hard to resist. We finished it completely. The quality of the ice cream felt high-end, and the egg puff was crunchy on the outside. Every bite was satisfying. Service & Wait Time: I deducted a star mainly because of the service. The wait time for the egg puff was not communicated clearly. I ordered at 4:35 PM and received it at 4:50 PM, which was a 15-minute wait. That's fine if explained, but it wasn't mentioned at all. Also, the staff did not smile or show much friendliness. Customer service does not seem to be a focus here. Overall, the food quality is good, but with better communication and a warmer attitude, the experience could be much better. read more

Been going here for a while and came this time to grab something to eat while waiting for my drink at Izumi. Ube malasada (5/5): This was made to order so it was piping hot and fluffy. The Ube wasn't as strong but still flavorful. Still one of my favorite places to grab dessert. read more

Had their Jasmine milk tea and a malasada. The Jasmine was super watered down and the tea flavor wasn't there at all. On top of that, not a great boba texture. Kinda typical for a dessert place that isn't really a boba spot. The malasada was good but a bit pricey read more

Le Creme: 3.5 stars! I came here today (Thursday) around 6:20pm because I wanted a sweet treat. My friend and I saw that they had a new drink which was the banana matcha latte! There's plenty of tables and chairs indoors to hang out! We got the banana matcha latte, beignets with condensed milk, and the strawberry banana with nutella crepe with strawberry ice cream. The banana matcha latte wasn't tasty at all, the matcha was not good and the banana flavor was very light. I like the strawberry ice cream crepe! Definitely will stick to my regular drinks which is the caramel snow and strawberry milk tea with jelly stars! read more

I love the Mochi Donuts here! They're made fresh and warm! It's a little spot for drinks, snacks, and desserts. You can order on the screen and they do have menus on the wall.

Ah, a classic place for a sweet treat. My first visit in over 5 years and it was better than I remember. I was craving beignets and found that Le Creme served them, so I decided to give it a shot. The cafe wasn't too crowded, however the beignets took a little while, but they were nice and fresh! The beignets were hot and delicious with the condensed milk I got alongside it. It was definitely messy to eat, but worth it. I wish you could order single mochi donuts again but they've changed their minimum to three. read more

I love their calamari I heads and it always comes out jut right. It's crispy, not heavy, and there's enough sweet no sour sauce that ties it in. The malasada is pretty good but also kind of pricey. I probably wouldn't buy the malasada as often and will splurge on it once in awhile. The service is always consistent every time I go here and they make their food pretty quick and I usually don't have to wait that long. read more

The food was okay. I've definitely had much better mochi doughnuts. Nothing special to go out of your way for. Now customer service on the other hand made it a place to never visit again. It was the first time here and I went with my father and grandmother for a sweet treat after dinner. Fist it's very messy inside and dirty they do not clean any of their tables. And I am not sure if it was a race thing or the girl at the front did not like my family but we felt as though it was because of outrace (Hispanic). We went to the register and she ignored us until we were ordered and after ordering she said no card so I pulled out cash and she said no big bills. So then my father paid exact change. Being our first time we didn't realize in the back there's a self serve kiosk to order with card. But as we're waiting for our food at a dirty table an Asian couple comes in and they're super nice saying hi and welcoming them in and the same girl that told us no cards here without even informing us we could pay with card at the self service kiosk takes their order and lets them pay with card at the front with her for the exact same amount. Just an unwelcoming and terrible experience making us feel unwanted in the establishment. read more

Le Creme - Fruity pebbles, cookies and crème, strawberry, churro mochi doughnuts - Desserts Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my favorite place for yogurt drinks! In a busy plaza with quite a few other drink shops, their desserts are another good grab here. Parking isn't for the weak in this plaza during busy times, patience/caution and some push is needed. I don't think I've ever seen this shop packed, but there's always a flow of people in and out. There's seating available, no restrooms for the public (looks like there was, but it's been blocked the last few times that I've gone). The yogurt drink reminds my dad of the yogurt he would have when he was young in Vietnam; the tartness of it. If I'm not wrong, the Mountain High brand is the one used. I favor the strawberry flavor over mango in the sense that I find it a bit lighter. The mango gives me a bit more of a heartiness, but both I love (not mixed together though). Desserts wise, I've tried their mochi donuts and malasadas - both coming out hot and fresh. It does take a little, but I would say fresh is worth the wait. Mochi donuts is as you'd expect, light with a bite. As for the malasadas, they are filled pretty generously. The guava filling is my favorite, but I think I can only eat one as it is a bit of a heavy dessert to me. I think I would like to try their egg puffs next time I'm there! As for savory snacks, I have tried the chicken gizzards here. The flavor was good, but it was a bit on the burnt end to me. There was a good amount portion wise though. Final Thoughts: I solely (mostly) come here for the yogurt drinks so that's all I can really can say of it... I just want one now after typing. read more

Best place to get mochi donuts!! I come here every year for my birthday just to get the mochi donuts, incredibly addicting so be aware. The donuts are made to order so there might be a bit of a wait. The shop is filled with many tables and seats available while you wait for your order. Fresh soft and doughy donuts that live up to its mochi texture paired with a delicious cream for flavoring. Mochi donuts are best served warm and this place does just that. My personal favorite is the matcha donut. Le creme is the perfect place for when you're craving that sweet treat :) Parking can be difficult as it's located in a plaza with tons of restaurants and other shops but outside of rush hour, parking isn't that bad. The vibes of this shop is nice with their extensive menu and I'm excited to try other items! read more

Not sure if the person at the register didnt put in the request for less sweet but my avocado smoothie is way too sweet for 50% sweetness. Tastes like no adjustment made at all. My first time was 100% super sweet Second time 75% still really sweet Third time 50% but super sweet like my first time order. Couldnt even continue to drink it and grossed out by the amount of sweet and sugar/condensed milk. This drink is a road to diabetes sooner. read more

what a cute little place... so many options to choose from from milk tea to slushies to coffee and even snacks! I got here a fruit tea that had peach, mango, strawberry and basil seeds. What I liked the most about it is the fact that it had real fruit chunks inside the drink (that's how you know a fruit tea is the best) and a cappuccino... I also tried their beignets which were HUGE I got the dipping sauce Nutella which really added to the flavor because I feel like even though it had powdered sugar on the top it was a tad bit plain. I think the only complaint I can give towards this place is just that the menu is way too big... it's awesome to have a variety but several screens with more than enough lettering on it I swear it felt like I spent 30 minutes trying to even read the text bevause it was so small and packed. Overall I like this place a lot and would like to come back again to try something new as I liked what I first ordered read more

We visited Le Crème because some of our students work here, and we were excited to try their mochi donuts! The texture was spot on--soft with a satisfying chew, and they weren't overly sweet. They also had a nice variety of flavors to choose from, which made it even more enjoyable. The customer service was great, and the café itself has a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. The background café sounds added to the relaxing vibe, making it a nice place to hang out. They also offer a wide selection of snacks and drinks, so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more options!

Never tried a mochi donut before and tried it here at Le Creme in San Jose. Loved it! You can't order just one, you have to order a minimum of 4 at least. I just wanted one but the universe told me that 4 will be a happy treat and it definitely was! I never expected it to be fresh and warm, totally worth the wait, the dang service was on point! I regret not ordering a dozen because we don't have mochi donuts here in Reno. When I get my chance to visit Cali I definitely want to try other places that serves mochi donuts. I'm a Krispy Kreme soul but this version is winning my heart. It has a bit of gummy texture and like how I like my donuts, soft. read more

Stopped by here after having dinner in the same plaza because the malasadas piqued my interest. Once I stepped foot inside the store, I realized that there were so many other options they had!!! However, I didn't want to inconvenience the workers right before closing, so I got what I came for and I purchased a guava filled and vanilla bean filled malasada. The vanilla bean one was delicious and the texture of the cream is great, I gave the guava one to my friend and he stated that the flavor wasn't very pronounced and tasted somewhat artificial. I'd totally come back here for one of their mochi donuts or slushies, they have SO MANY flavors. There's something for everyone. There's lots of indoor seating too, plenty of teenagers were in there chatting over their sweet treats. read more

I got their strawberry jade green tea a couple of times here, and it tastes different every time. The first time I tried this, it was very sweet (like juice), which my sister is a big fan of sweet things. There are also times where they don't really add the fruit toppings directly on top of the drinks when it should be. Today, I ordered it again, and it taste very tea like and not the usual sweet juice flavor, so I don't really know what's going on. I also order a lychee smoothie which hits the spot every time. I noticed not many boba shops have lychee smoothies as one of their drinks selection, which is kinda sad cause lychee is one of my favs flavor. read more
